With an abundance of new exhibits opening and the weather not quite warm enough for a day at the beach, May is a great month to explore new shows at North Fork and Hamptons galleries.

"North Fork Modernism," a solo exhibition by artist Colin Goldberg debuted on Friday, May 2, at The South Street Gallery (18 South Street, Greenport, 631-477-0021, thesouthstreetgallery.com). The show features "an exploration of dualities: East and West, traditional and digital, abstraction and figuration." Stop by the public reception on Saturday, May 24, from 5 to 7 p.m., at the Gallery to chat with Goldberg.

The Guild Hall Artist Members Show (158 Main Street, East Hampton, 631-324-0806, www.guildhall.org) opened on Saturday, May 3, and will be on display through Saturday, June 7. The show is the oldest non-juried museum exhibition on Long Island and the top honor is a solo show in the Museum's Spiga Gallery.
